The fb file extension is also related to Gforth, a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth language. It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice features such as input completion and history, backtraces, a decompiler and a powerful locals facility, and it even has a manual.
Gforth combines traditional implementation techniques with newer techniques for portability and performance: its inner interpreter is direct threaded with several optimizations, but you can also use a traditional-style indirect threaded interpreter. Gforth is distributed under the GNU General Public license (see COPYING).
Gforth runs under GNU, BSD, and similar systems, MS Windows, MacOS X, OS/2, and DOS and should not be hard to port to other systems supported by GCC.
